Now that you mention it, I had issues the first couple days (even in Live mode random songs would crawl for a few seconds, which is so weird considering it's not even streaming), but after that, everything's been fine. Forgot I even had those issues.

Use Me by Hinder epitomizes the absolute worst of 2000s hard rock, and combined with an absolute dick of a chart it happily sits as my least favourite song in the game.

There are three songs in each 15 minute block. It wouldn't surprise me if each song had two "partners" so all three show up together, it would be the easiest way to ensure that each show always lasts exactly half an hour
Yeah, it's driving me nuts. I just can't find a sweet spot with their sliding bell. Would be really nice if they'd give us the option to manually input the offsets.
Even tried the option to let the game auto-calibrate itself during play, but that didn't seem to help much either; it just isn't consistent with keeping the lag in check.
Auto Calibrate seems to work for one song for me then goes back to being unplayable, the cowbell system really sucks
I don't have problems after trial and error calibrating with the "cowbell" system. I have no problems on advanced so far. But i believe there are some songs where the notes are just off, because at some passages it really seems like i play right to the sound but it doesnt fit the notes or vice versa. At 99% of the time it seems so fit, it's just some small parts.

I wish there was a way to turn the guitar track up a little bit so I could hear it better than everything else.

I went into the Bandwidth Usage portion of the System Menu on Xbox One after playing GH TV for five hours last night. I did not exit Channel One except to try out three Premium Channels during the third hour:
1.44GB [6pm - 6:59pm E.S.T.]
1.45GB [7pm - 7:59pm E.S.T.]
1.15GB [8pm - 8:59pm E.S.T.]
1.86GB [9pm - 9:59pm E.S.T.]
1.76GB [10pm - 10:59pm E.S.T.]
I hope those numbers help others who are wondering about the game in relationship to their ISP's download caps.
I can easily do this again if more data is desired.

Haha, I wish I could turn it down so the vocals were the right volume in comparison so all the songs I like stop sounding weird.
I'm wondering if the coin bonus is actually working, but the display isn't. I logged in today and didn't get any notification at all but I'm sure I have way more coins than I had yesterday, so I wonder if I am getting the day 5 bonus even though it's telling me I'm getting the day 1 one still. I'll have to check tomorrow.

Interesting, you may be right. I'll try to pay attention tonight. It seems like it turns over around 8pm here (EST).

Final upgrade is 15k, so a FULLY upgraded guitar is 120,000 coins.I still think you could do just as well with 90,000 though unless you're buying power-ups, and if you've got coins to waste on that then you're probably not scraping around for them. If the daily coin bonus works, you could hit 90,000 in one month by playing one show a day, or thereabouts. Actually probably quicker because you'd get a bunch of bonuses for levelling up too.

Hah, I ended up getting $60 worth of Hero Cash (20,700) due to an issue I had redeeming my code for Wii U. Ended up being given 3 different codes to try when their redemption page wasn't working, and just tried today and all 3 codes worked. I was really mad about the whole thing but can't complain now.
Don't know what I'm going to spend the HC on though, since I mostly just play GHTV channels. Looks like I could buy 400 plays, but eh. I think I'll just hold on to it in case they add more things to spend HC on. Really wish I could buy guitar upgrades this way, lol.

I swear my calibration just died after the first day.
I played nearly the entirety of Live without any problems and now it's fucking shit.

Changing calibration from day to day has always been my Guitar Hero way. I have never found a "sweet spot" in any of the games ever.
Jup I had the same issue two days ago. Could not hit a single note...
Now it seems to work again.

I'm finally able to play on Advanced comfortably now. I hoping to be playing on Expert by next week.
I'm playing on PS4, but really wanted it on Wii U. I chose not to buy it for Nintendo's console because the NX is around the corner, and I was looking for a title that would last for quite a bit.

I always seem to have calibration issues in every single Guitar Hero. Rock Band I always calibrated once and that was it.
GH Live probably has the worst calibration set up I've ever seen in any of these music games.

Weird. Hopefully they change the rubbish calibration system to something a bit more effective and easier to do without guessing.
Getting into the groove with expert now. Still need to use Advanced for some of the crazier stuff like Halestorm and the entire Blackout Conspiracy set, but something like Club Foot is solid.
Playing it on Wii U. Outside the possibility of the guitar not working on a possible release in NX, if it makes it by the end of 2016 as the earliest; that means I still can play this for a year.
Of course that will also depend on the plans for future games (like a new one next year). At least with no DLC, there's no worries of something not ecporting.

That's a lot and it's going to be add up fast if anyone decides they like this game enough to play it everyday for long sessions. My ISP recently switched over to an overall data cap. Before there was a limit but it was only for peak time usage. Outside of that you could use as much as you wanted. For example if I were to say use GHTV every day for a few hours each evening I could possibly burn through half or come close to half of my monthly cap going by those numbers.I'm not at my ISP's lowest tier either. A single game able to do that is troublesome.
Is there an option to disable the music video that goes with these songs? I would assume that's what's eating up the bandwidth. Any option to just have the song come in with a generic background?

Nope
Oh no, why only this weekend when I am not home :-/
Last night was supposed to go like
- Tune in GH for a quick go through the Rock playlist at 9.00
- Finish Halo 5 campaign and throw in some MP as well
Ended up playing 3 and 1/2 hours of GHLive, i went to bed that i litterally couldn't feel my left hand :lol
...still sucks that the in game volume is way too low, i need to crank it up to 50 on my sound system, where any other game gets way too loud at 25((

Is it? I did the GH Classics one once, came back a few days later and had to 5* Limelight, Modern Day Cowboy and Don't Be Cruel. And two of those I used play tokens to play. Of course, I've also been experiencing the bug where I only get Day 1's prizes when I log in as well. I've missed out on a looooot of coins.
Do any of the other power ups have infinite use as well, or is it just the bomb? I'd at least hope that the 2x score does as well.

I saw a Kraken highway for some amount of coins. Anyone know what the other one is?Free Halloween player card in the store:

Sadly only the bomb is free to use, everything else you have to pay coins to restock. It's real dumb.

It's alright, same as Rock Band Blitz really. Prices don't seem too bad either, unless they increase. 240 for 10 Dial Downs is only two GHTV songs.
Jup, the GHLive Syndrom is real...
"just gonna play one short set of 30 minutes"
Start gama
"Fuck it was 3 hours..."
Edit:
I wish the bomb was NOT the default hero power.. it's by far the most annoying and lamest of the ones you can have. Why not make the standard 2x multi default ...? :-(

But at a certain point you're just trading coins for status (assuming powerups are helping you win.). I'd rather save my coins to buy upgrades.
The best thing about the bomb is activating it right at the end of the song; I like to pretend I'm setting my guitar on fire like Jimi Hendrix.

Looks like it's definitely the day one bonus we're getting. Got 600 coins when I logged in today. Getting skanked out of 1,200 coins every day!
Neuromancer

Yeah I tried to watch for it last night and I was definitely not getting 1000+ coins.
I wonder if FSG is aware of this bug and has any plans on making good on this.
I got the Trophy for logging into GHTV 10 days in a row and I've barely got shit for "login bonuses", haha.
It would be nice if they just dumped a shitload of coins on there, but they're not going to do that. I think the only day the login bonuses were working correctly was day 1.

Me too. It's really odd to me that that would track correctly, but not the bonuses.

The difference with Blitz is that you get double points for new songs and coins are spent entirely on power ups, nothing else. And that's still before Rock Band World offering tons of coins for playing a few songs.
It's still a stupid system, but it's handled better in Blitz.
toythatkills

I had a lot more of a problem with Blitz than this. In this the power-ups could realistically pay for themselves in many cases. Buy 10 whatevers for 300 coins and they'll last two-plus songs which will earn you enough coins to buy 10 more. Plus daily log-in bonuses means that power-ups will be pretty easy to obtain once you've finished with the upgrades. Even with more expensive powers you'd probably be able to play a good few hours each day before coins even start to become an issue, if they ever do.
There will be "down time," for sure, but it seems there'll be a lot less here than there was in Blitz where coins were not nearly as easy to come by as you imply. That, and Blitz was a totally useless waste-of-time game without power-ups, whereas GHL is still fun to play whether you've got those perks or not - which helps.
Blitz is interesting. A game that has F2P mechanics (powerups that cost coins per play), but no F2P purchases. It didn't even post a single thing to your FB wall after you linked it.
